Another photo from my trip out of Glasgow last weekend, this time from the slopes of Ben Lawers. Scottish mountains in the spring sunshine are really up there with almost anywhere in the world, and you can reach the closest of them within an hour's drive from the city.
If you enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, both in Scotland and elsewhere, it's to these trailblazers that you owe a debt of gratitude for helping to ensure you still have the right to do so.
It was the birth place of not one, but two of Scotland's early mountaineering clubs (the Lomond and the Creagh Dhu). Amongst others Tom Weir, later to become an influential writer and broadcaster, was a regular visitor to the fire where those passing would stop to make a brew and talk with others doing the same.

Never got around to a Hachyderm intro post, so…

I've been here for a bit now and probably should do one of those intro posts (now that I'm grasping how this all works better).
I'm an #illustrator / #artist / #creative type. I live with three #cats one human and lots of #plants . I'm into #SciFi including #StarTrek and #StarWars . I play #VideoGames and #TTRPG games (like #DungeonsAndDragons #DnD ). I like #walking in the wilds and #swimming and would love to get into #HillWalking and #WildSwimming more. I like #wildlife and a messy #garden.
I joined a few days ago this nices crowd. So a bit dealyed a few more words about me:
I am a vegetation scientists, working from plant communities to plant macroecology with a focus on plant traits.
Specifically, I am interested in the impact of Global Change (alien species, climate change, land use) on distribution and composition.
Recently I started a long-term study on glacier forefield succession.
Privately enthusiastic about #hillwalking, #climbing, #skimountaineering
Hello!
I'm Alistair, from Scotland—Edinburgh at the moment but originally from the Highlands.
I work as a Front-end web developer at the agency SeriesEight and a fair bit of this account will be web-related!
Otherwise I really enjoy #snowsports (#skiing
